Job Reference (47da5b13)

Job Purpose

To provide support both at home and out in the community for a young woman with health issues including epilepsy

Location: Heydon, NR11

Details

I am an active, intelligent 24 year old with disabilities, who enjoys getting out and about, going for walks, having lunch in cafes, and attending the theatre and cinema (I like ballet). I would also like my P.A. to sit with me and encourage me to read. As I live with my elderly grandmother, she needs respite, and therefore ideally I’d like to have an overnight stay with my P.A. in their own home. Because of my epilepsy my P.A. needs to be aware and capable of supporting me during seizures. The role would suit a mature person with a young outlook.
